Question

In a site I’m making, I need a search engine to find songs for people to listen to. I have it working to the point that it can get info from the database and display them on the page. The problem comes when there are two songs with the same name. I have a system so the results will go to separate links, but when I search them they display the same image even though there is two separate sources for them. It also will make extra results for some reason. Here’s my code:

<?php
if (isset($_GET['q'])) {
    $q = $_GET['q'];
    mysql_connect('********', '********', '********');
    mysql_select_db('********');
    $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ******** WHERE title LIKE '$q'");
    $numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);
} else {
    echo "
<span style='font-family: Helvetica, Arial;font-weight: bold;font-size: 25px;'>Search</span>
<form action='http://www.example.com/search' method='get'>
<input placeholder='Search for music' type='text' name='q' style='font-weight:bold;padding:5px;width:300px;border-top-left-radius: 4px;border-top-right-radius: 10px;border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;border-bottom-right-radius: 4px;border: 3px solid gray;background-color:#000000;color:#FFFFFF;' />
</form>
    ";
}
if ($numrows != 0) {
    $index = 0;
    $results = array();
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
        $results[$index] = $row;
        $index++;
        foreach ($results as $result) {
            $url = "http://www.example.com?id=" . $row['id'];
            $title = $row['title'];
            $arturl = $row['art_url'];
            if ($_GET['q'] != "") {
                echo "
                    <a href='$url'>
                    <table>
                    <tr style='text-align:left;'>
                    <td><img src='$arturl' style='width:100px;height:100px;'></td>
                    <td>
                    <span class='songTitle'>$title</span>
                    <br/>
                    <span class='songArtist'>By: Unknown</span>
                    </td>
                    </tr>
                    </table>
                    </a>
                    <br />              
                ";
            }
        }   
    }
} else {
    if ($_GET['q'] != "") {
        echo "
<span style='font-family: Helvetica, Arial;font-weight: bold;font-size: 25px;'>Search</span>
<form action='********' method='get'>
<input placeholder='Search for music' type='text' name='q' style='font-weight:bold;padding:5px;width:300px;border-top-left-radius: 4px;border-top-right-radius: 10px;border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;border-bottom-right-radius: 4px;border: 3px solid gray;background-color:#000000;color:#FFFFFF;' />
</form>
        ";
        echo "<br />No results where found.";
    }
}
?>

Answer 1

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))Try $result['title'] instead of $row['title'];. Same goes to $url and $arturl

This should work.

if ($numrows != 0) {
    $index = 0;
    $results = array();
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
            $url = "http://www.example.com?id=" . $row['id'];
            $title = $row['title'];
            $arturl = $row['art_url'];
            if ($_GET['q'] != "") {
                echo "
                    <a href='$url'>
                    <table>
                    <tr style='text-align:left;'>
                    <td><img src='$arturl' style='width:100px;height:100px;'></td>
                    <td>
                    <span class='songTitle'>$title</span>
                    <br/>
                    <span class='songArtist'>By: Unknown</span>
                    </td>
                    </tr>
                    </table>
                    </a>
                    <br />              
                ";
            }
    }           
    }
